LE RAGNAIE BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO CASANOVINA MONTOSOLI 2019

Sangiovese Grosso from Montosoli is Brunello at its most site-specific: the north-facing hillside's galestro and alberese soils produce wines with deeper mineral tension than most of Montalcino's warmer, south-facing exposures. Le Ragnaie's Casanovina parcel is farmed organically under Riccardo Campinoti, whose approach keeps intervention minimal through harvest and aging. The 2019 vintage delivered even ripening across Montalcino, and from this cooler site that translates to dried cherry, iron-tinged earth, dried herbs, and a firm, chalky tannic structure that needs time to fully resolve.
